I'll come out and say it. I supported legalization of pot (or Amendment 64)) in Colorado. But mainly because I believe pot can only be as if not as less harmful as alcohol. But I have a feeling before joints come like beer mugs, a lot of people will try doing what happened for alcohol: ban it.

Yay or nay?

I don't want no pothead or alcoholic working or driving next to me.

If you believe in tea party principles you should want to legalize pot. Small government believers don't believe government should regulate what people do to themselves. ( As long as it doesn't effect others.)

Smoking pot or drinking alcohol is completely different to driving and working while intoxicated. You're completely mixing up two issues.

I didn't say that, but if it impedes your abilities, then they are the same.

Do the drug legalization folks have any idea what's going on in the country?!?!?! The country is on the verge of COLLAPSE and you will NOT have a Constitutional Republic rise out of the ashes. You'll have a DICTATORSHIP!

With all that's taking place, THIS is what occupies their time! "Useless shreds of human debris"

IMHO Pot is no more dangerous then Alcohol. So if it has the same usage perimeters as Alcohol oh well. But I don't think they have a way to check your blood content road side yet so I would say not at this time. I may be wrong on checking blood content and how much makes you incapacitated.

Yes.Same rules as alcohol, in regard to age and driving.Employers would retain the right to terminate employees that use it, at their discretion.

It's not so much about drug legalization, as it is that it's unconstitutional. The government has no constitutional authority to stop people from doing things that affect no one but themselves.

It's this same overreach that has led to Michelle Obama's food police, and mayor Bloomberg's Orwellian dictates on everything from transfat, to salt, to soda portions.

We can't call on government to stop people from doing something we disagree with, and be surprised when our turn comes around.

The thing that always bothered me is the fact that if drug tested one can be fired for smoking on their own time. Let me explain. One can smoke pot from Friday evening through Sunday evening then stop. They go to work Monday morning with no lingering effects yet since it stays in the system for quite awhile a person can be terminated.

Anyone familar with smoking pot knows that if one smoked their last joint let's say at 10:00 PM for arguments sake. By the time they wake up there's no lingering effects. With alcohol there's the hangover which coulkd interfere with one's performance...not so with pot.

Just my observation on the matter. I don't care one way or another if it's legalized. If one wants it, it's easily available to the let's say "daily user".
